The film is set in the world of the Old Masters and offers a mosaic of gripping stories in which unrestrained passion for Rembrandt`s paintings leads to dramatic developments and unexpected plot turns. When French baron Eric de Rothschild puts two Rembrandts up for sale, it triggers a hard political battle between the Rijksmuseum and the Louvre. The film also follows aristocratic Dutch art dealer Jan Six as he seems to be on the trail of not just one but two `new` Rembrandt paintings. This nerve-wrecking journey of discovery seems to be the realisation of his biggest boyhood dream. But when he is accused of having violated an agreement with another art dealer, his world looks about to collapse. The film allows us a fascinating insight into what makes the work of this Dutch master painter so special and why his work touches people so deeply.
